Stadium is 12 years old, exactly what is missing


What’s missing? A stadium suited for the SEC. Which LSU does not have

It’s full of wall advertisements and metal chairs that increase the temperature 10+ degrees

At least start with moving the 3rd and 1st baseline bullpens. Then replace all bleachers with quality fold back chair seating.

This is important. We're about to field the best team in a good while and this program with its storied history and winning tradition is deserving of only the best facilities.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Lsu fans are the fricking worse. We have a nice stadium. Maybe win something before u cry about facilities every year. JFC

Always wanting more than the other, the typical Baton Rouge keeping up with the Jones lifestyle. Smfh

LSU just had the #1 class in the country, and the #1 class from the portal. I think it’s ok for now.

Aggies are like a high-maintenance woman. They prefer to have a nice, expensive, and comfortable place to get fricked in.

LSU needs to be relevant on the field again before we address any stadium issues. That will take care of itself if they add a natty to the resume.

They won a title in 2009 moron

The stadium is nice for ULL, Rice, Oklahoma State, etc

Whoever signed off on this build should be publicly shamed. It’s an absolute eyesore

Why is that? Was it a funding issue or just lacking in planning?

They were too dead set on making it look like the old Box.

You may want to see what Oklahoma State is working with these days. They just opened a new park within the last couple years.

Players don't give a shite about the stadium. They care about practice facilities and locker room amenities.

No one is "falling further behind" just because some other school has better concessions and more fan perks.

That has zero outcome on team success.

It’s been repeated on here time and time again things that could be improved. Just because the stadium isn’t falling to the ground, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved in order to keep up with other stadiums.

Good luck selling that to tRant.

But you are right.

It’s tough to swallow but we have the 4th best facilities in our own division.

Cool. I’m a fan, so I do care about the stadium.

In terms of stadium atmosphere, yes LSU is definitely falling behind. We have no where near the atmosphere that Miss St, Arkansas, and Ole Miss have.

I’m not saying it does. It impacts how enjoyable gameday is for a fan.

I swear, there are paid LED light, Concessions, and Stadium Contractors constantly trolling this site. It's gotten a bit out of control. We just went to Alex Box last weekend and it's not falling apart by any means. Even spoke with a few players and they love the facilities.

In fact and in most cases(not basketball), others are trying to catch us.
